The Atlas Take First Place from the
Haverlys- Other Games.
4 very large crowd, almost as large as
that attending on the opening day, was
present at Snowflake Park yesterday to wit
ness the game between the Atlas and Ha-
verlys These clubs always play sharp
and close match, and bring out the ad-
mirers of the game in great force. The ar
engagements for handling the great crowd of
spectators were as good as could be desired.
The first train, which went out al 1920 P.
NJ, conveyed the Hussar Band and two or
three hundred other people, an unusually
large proportion of whom were LADIES. 1t
has been noticed that the number of
ladies in attendance has greatly in
creased lately. They and their escorts
find it very pleasant to go out
and listen to the fine music which the band
renders until the commencement of the
game. Among those present were many
excursionists from Shingle Springs and
way stations, Rocklin, Auburn, Woodland,
Davisville, etc The regular passenger
train from San Francisco via Stockton
brought Is residents of the latter city, ar
rangements having been made by which
all who wish to come to the Sacramento
games from there can do SO and return at
a low round-trip rate.
Tom Meagher made his temperance in
the Alta nine and played left field in an
excellent manner, showing also that he
had not lost his skill with the bat nor speed
in base running. Mike Fisher, formerly
of the Atlas played left field for the Hav-
erlys. The fine fielding of Flint and Levy
was greatly admired. Mclaughlin played
q splendid game, and under difficulties, for
at the close of the first half of the third
inning the end of the middle finger of his
right hand was knocked off as he was
picking up drop ball, which ground the
finger against the gravel. The skin ad-
hered to the nail, and was by bystanders
pressed back in place and fastened down
with strips of plaster. 1t must have been
painful injury, but he declared he would
catch the game out |" if it broke a finger"
and proceeded to do SO in an astonishing
manner. His fine base-stealing in the eighth
inning gave his club the winning run,
The Haverlys played a better game than
their opponents, but still did not win They
made two runs in the third and two in the
fourth innings. In the third Lawton hit
TO Robertson, who overthrow to first, and
the runner came home through STEMS in
reference with Anderson at third. The
umpire fined Stein 81 so, but allowed the
run. Sweeney's drive to third passed
through Anderson's fingers. Bennett Struck
to the same locality, but was put out at first.
Hanly's skyscraper to center field was
taken IN by Flint. Incell sent q two bag
ger TO right field bringing Sweeney in.
Fisher hit to left field and was retired. In
the fourth inning Levy famed" Stein
hit safely to right field Donahue sent one
to shortstop, who muffed Lawton struck
out. Sweeney forwarded the ball to short,
who just then was having a spell of bad
luck. The ball was fumbled and over
thrown to home, and Stein and Donahue
tailed. Bennett tried whether Newbert
would give him chance, as he had the
others, but found that the error-making
was over.
The Atlas made runs in the first, third,
sixth and eighth innings. In the first
Anderson fired a Dagger into left field,
took third on a passed ball, and came
home on Fishers mutt of Mullee's effort
In the third inning Meagher made a
base-hit of ten or twelve feet, stole second,
took third on a wild pitch and tailed on a
bad throw to third
In the sixth inning Anderson struck to
center safely and Mullee to second, who
couldn't stop 1t. Mclaughlin directed his
to third, who dropped it. Mclaughlin be-
gan playing between bases to give Ander-
son chance to score, but the latter was
put out at the plate. Newbert's little tap
went to Incell, who, after waiting to see
whether Mullee was going to try for home.
threw the ball to Bennett at first. 1t
reached there ahead of Newbert, but the
latter could not stop, and collided with
Bennett, both taking q tumble. 1t was a
lucky collision for the Atlas, as Bennett
couldn't get the ball home, and Mullee and
Mclaughlin ran across the plate, tying the
score amidst great excitement.
In the eighth inning, after Anderson and
Mullee had been put out, Mclaughlin struck
to center field and reached first easily then
boldly stole second and third, and worked
SO close to home that be was able to make
the winning run off a passed ball.
